Black Horse Studio - An Art Retreat in Vermont

Our summer workshops are primarily devoted to painting, but incorporated into our daily schedule is riding time. You need not be an avid horse person nor an accomplished rider, but if you’re keen to combine your art with horses, our riding lesson program is outstanding!

We are very fortunate to have available wonderful school horses from the Vershire Riding School (www.vershireridingschool.com) who can carry you through lessons in dressage, cross country and stadium jumping.

You may also board your own horse with us. Our senior riding staff have been with us for years.

If, on the other hand, you are more inclined to watch from afar, prefer a game of tennis, a walk in the woods or a plain ol’ nap, we offer that too. We do not cut into your painting time for the riding or any other extracurricular activity.
